PANEL-MOUNT COUPLER USB TY-A F/TY-B F BK

The BLACK BOX panel-mount USB coupler adds a female USB Type-A port on one side and a female USB Type-B port on the other, making it suitable for installers building USB connections into equipment panels or faceplates.

Recommended For

• AV and IT installers adding a fixed USB connection to a panel or faceplate, with a USB Type-A receptacle on one side and a USB Type-B receptacle on the other.
• Equipment and enclosure builders who want a mounted USB-A-to-USB-B pass-through instead of leaving a loose cable routed through a panel opening.
• Installers fitting a compatible stainless-steel keystone wallplate who need a USB-A-to-USB-B connection at the plate; Black Box lists its WP370 wallplates as compatible.
• Workshop or custom-install builders who can secure the coupler with its included bezel, snap fitting, and screws to make a USB connection accessible at the equipment panel.

Real-World Use Scenarios

• When building a USB connection into an equipment panel or faceplate, install the coupler so users can plug in from the outside while the Type B side connects behind the panel; this provides a fixed access point instead of routing a cable through an open gap.
• When fitting a USB connection into a compatible keystone wallplate, use the coupler to create a neat, accessible port; Black Box lists its stainless-steel keystone wallplates as compatible.
• When a USB-B-connected peripheral is mounted inside a cabinet or enclosure, use the panel coupler as a pass-through so the connection can be reached from outside without opening the housing.
• When integrating computer-based equipment into an audio setup, mount the coupler on the rack or equipment panel to make the USB connection easier to access during setup or servicing.
• When a faceplate or surface-mount box needs a USB A-to-B connection, use the coupler as a mounted join between compatible cables; it gives the connection a defined place on the panel rather than leaving the cable join loose.
